Tommy Bowe leaves Ospreys team-mate Shane Williams in his wake
Grand Slam hero Tommy Bowe is hoping to add to Ireland's Six Nations and Triple Crown success by lifting three more trophies with the Ospreys.
The Irish wing is set to be involved in Saturday's EDF Energy Cup semi-final against Gloucester before Magners League and Heineken Cup action resumes.
"We are aware of what is at stake," said the 25-year-old Lions contender. "It's a huge three weeks for us.
"To still be in contention for three competitions is massive."
Bowe scored his 10th try in 23 Tests to help Ireland claim a stunning Six Nations title triumph.
On the way to the line he beat Ospreys colleagues Gavin Henson and Shane Williams. But Bowe has now turned his attention to his regional commitments.
"We have a big match against Gloucester, so I can't celebrate the Grand Slam too much," admitted Bowe, who also has a Heineken quarter-final date against Munster in Thomond Park next month.
"A lot of work has gone into it and we won't want to throw it away in the next couple of weeks.
"The squad we have here is more than capable of staying in contention with all three and speaking to the coaches, the players definitely know they want to be in all three.
"None is bigger than the other, but we are looking for three big results over the next three weeks."
Bowe's finishing power has elevated him among the front-runners for a wing berth in the Lions squad to tour South Africa this summer. For one, BBC pundit Jonathan Davies believes the Ulsterman is favourite to start for the Lions at right wing.
Bowe added: "I am sure they [Lions selectors] have been looking at the Six Nations, and to get the win in Cardiff would have done me no harm."
Ireland left Cardiff with the title, Triple Crown and first Grand Slam since 1948, but only after a nerve-tingling climax that culminated in Wales fly-half Stephen Jones narrowly missing a long-range penalty attempt.
